California Wedding Days Finalist

One of my favorite things about photography is that it truly stops time. I can look back on images from over the years and be brought right back to that moment. It brings smiles and tears to my face! My approach is rooted in the fundamental belief that love knows no boundaries. All couples deserve to have their unique story captured with authenticity and grace. Being able to preserve this moment in time for couples is my highest honor. I am elated to share the second honor I have received, being a top-three finalist for California Wedding Day’s best photographer in Northern California in 2025.

Northern California is home to over a third of the entire state’s population! Being selected from countless other photographers as a California wedding day’s finalist is the best surprise. While I work hard to ensure all my couples are seen and celebrated, having my work as a whole considered for this honor is beyond my wildest dreams. I love being a Northern California photographer. It truly is the best of California! With weddings along the coast, immersed in the redwoods, throughout wine country, or under the city lights, we truly capture it all.

Words from Our Wedding Couples

“Alicia and her team did a BEAUTIFUL job of capturing our wedding. I’m a photographer too, and met Alicia at a photo event. Since then, I’ve admired her work and knew not only that she was a pro but also had a beautiful style and heart. We planned our wedding in 1 month and she was able to help me capture it and leave us with gorgeous memories to look back on.” – Maria

“BOOK ALICIA IMMEDIATELY! Choosing Alicia Parks as our wedding photographer was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she was nothing short of extraordinary. Beyond her incredible talent, Alicia is a warm, wonderful person who made us feel immediately at ease. After our engagement shoot, we felt so confident and excited about working with her on our big day.” – Kaycee

Plan a Tiburon/Marin Wedding – with Golden Gate Photos

“If I could give her 100 stars, I would in a heartbeat. Alicia is the most incredible person and photographer to have on your team for your wedding day (and everything leading up to!) Our families are typically super uncomfortable getting pictures taken, but felt so comfortable with Alicia (and Kim). The photos are beautiful – natural, authentic, and capturing the little moments we would have otherwise missed. We got super quick sneak peeks (literally less than 24 hours, and then more less than a week later), and then 2 weeks after our wedding, we had our entire 1,200 picture album in hand. Like I said… incredible. We couldn’t be more grateful for Alicia. She helped capture the very best moments of our life, and we are so thankful she was the one to do it!” – Kaitlyn

From California Wedding Days to Legacy Photography

I love weddings. I treasure the declaration of love and watching two families join together. Sometimes weddings lead to something truly special – legacy photography. There are some couples that transcend the wedding photography relationship, and I am grateful when those couples turn into legacy clients.

“Alicia is absolutely amazing. From our wedding to our maternity shoot and now doing our family photos every year, we just love her work. Every time we get proofs we are blown away by how many fantastic and creative shots she gets. She’s incredibly easy to work with and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer, whether it’s just a one time shoot or every single year like us to perfectly document your family growing!” – Lisa
